Midnight Train, 2006
enamel ink on paper

I have collected a bank of imagery consisting of differing philosophies, ideals, war iconography, fashion periods, animals, and economic stratification. Discarding these images selectively in a contained space creates, fantasy, confusion, and forced existences. The garish cartooning and light-hearted techniques broadcast personal experience and tend to conceal the legitimate hardships embedded within, the cultural undertones.
